Title: Method for mounting a recessed micro jet in a whirlpool bath and a kit therefor
Inventor: LEBRUN NICOLAS
IPC: A61H33/00
Filed: 2003-11-04
Granted: 2011-03-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for mounting micro jets on whirlpool bath surfaces. Micro jets are mounted in the bottom of cups. The cup containing the micro jet is mounted in an opening performed in the whirlpool bath shell. The proposed method is specially interesting for jets located on surfaces where fluid flows are obstructed such as the surface where a person's back rests when someone lies in a whirlpool bath. This method allows manufacturers to install micro jets those whirlpool bath surfaces without having a recessed part. Moreover, it allows to modify easily the fluid j et pattern depending on the consumer's needs. The present invention also concerns recessed micro jets for whirlpool baths and method for mounting the same.

Title: Method of continuously casting electrical steel strip with controlled spray cooling
Inventor: SCHOEN JERRY W
IPC: C21D8/12
Filed: 2002-09-13
Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: A method for continuously casting grain oriented electrical steel is disclosed. This method utilizes a controlled rapid cooling step, such as one using a water spray, to control the grain orientation in the finished product. The product formed not only has the appropriate grain orientation but also has good physical properties, for example, minimized cracking. In this process, after a continuously cast electrical steel strip is formed, the strip undergoes an initial secondary cooling to from about 1150 to about 1250~C, and finally undergoes a rapid secondary cooling (for example, by water spray) at a rate of from about 65~C/second to about 150~C/second to a temperature of no greater than about 950~C.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour la classification de liaisons réseau, sur la base des coordonnées géographiques d'un émetteur (10) et d'un récepteur (11) d'une liaison réseau à classifier (12). Selon l'invention, on détermine (3010) au moyen d'une unité de calcul (30) un ou plusieurs facteurs de distance (2011) qui indiquent la longueur réelle de la liaison réseau en fonction de la distance à vol d'oiseau. Un facteur de distribution d'atténuation (2020) est déterminé (3020) sur la base de données connues (5000) de liaisons réseau et indique le rapport des atténuations de différents tronçons d'une liaison réseau (12) les unes par rapport aux autres. En outre, des marges de transfert de données (2030) sont calculées pour déterminer des débits de données maximaux pour différents types de modems. La liaison réseau à classifier (12) est ensuite classifiée au moyen de l'unité de calcul (30) en fonction de son débit de données maximal, sur la base de la longueur réelle de la liaison réseau, du facteur de distribution d'atténuation (2020) et des marges de transfert de données. Le procédé selon l'invention convient notamment à des réseaux à base de liaisons par fil de cuivre, comme par exemple le dernier kilomètre dans des réseaux téléphoniques.

Title: Methods for real-time software video/audio compression, transmission, decompression and display
Inventor: DECEGAMA ANGEL
IPC: H04N21/2343
Filed: 2003-02-26
Granted: 2012-11-06
Abstract: The invention presents new methods of compression, transmission, and decompression of video signals providing increased speed and image quality.  Methods based on wavelet transformation with decimation and time stamping can provide one-pass encoding of signals in which the amount of bits of information needed to be transmitted can be substantially reduced, thereby increasing the speed of transmission of digital signals over networks.  Decompressing signals, along with interpolation methods to re-create portions of images of lesser importance in visual perception, can provide coordinated video and audio presentations of high quality in real-time over all kinds of networks.

Title: Fluid flow properties from acoustically stimulated nmr
Inventor: THOMANN HANS
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2004-07-02
Granted: 2014-06-17
Abstract: This invention is a method to measure fluid flow properties of a porous medium, including, but not limited to, the fluid flow permeability. In a preferred embodiment, the measurements are made down hole in drill wells exploring for hydrocarbons or acquifers. The measurement involves two types of instruments. One instrument creates a pressure wave (P) in the porous medium, which generates motion of the fluid in the pore space. The second instrument measures the fluid in the pore space using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods. Any type of instrument that can generate a pressure gradient is suitable, including instruments that are remote from the NMR instrument.  Magnetic field gradients (B) can be used to localize the NMR signal to a specific region within the porous medium. The magnetic field gradient (B) also provides the method by which the fluid motion is encoded on to the NMR signal.  The permeability is calculated form the known pressure gradient (P) present in the porous medium by virtue of the applied pressure gradient or pressure wave and the velocity of the fluid in the rock pore space measured by NMR.
